    The Thinkers 50: Malcolm Gladwell Malcolm Gladwell is the writer of books and for New Yorker Magazine. His books are generally categorized under the category of “Self-improvement”. However‚ in my opinion‚ he is not one of that self-improvement trashes. You can see that he does really research for his books. Just take a look into his “cites”. Even this made him different them from those I called trash. He is not putting an exact way on you‚ he does not tell you what to do‚ as if you are beginning
